Dog Food Ratings

Dog Food RatingsWith thousands of dog foods on the market,
how do you know which one to choose for your dog?

Our initial research on dog foods began in April of 2010 and we are continuously adding new foods to our list. If you have a food that is NOT on our list, please send a personal message to bullmama.

For even more information on dog food, visit our English Bulldog Diet and Nutrition Forums to see what food and health tips our members are using. Dog food brands are listed in alphabetical order according by star rating. Many dog food companies are constantly changing their ingredients and formulas, so another great resource for dog food ratings is http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com

Keep in mind, these gradings are based uponALL dog breeds. English Bulldogs are more prone to allergies and more sensitive to foods and ingredients such as high levels of protein than other dog breeds. Therefore, this is to be used strictly as a GUIDELINE for you to find a great choice for your bulldog. It will be trial and error until you find the perfect food, and a 4 star food may work better for your English Bulldog than a 6 star food.

Remember to always take time while switching foods. Add more of the new food to the current food you are feeding for a minimum of a week until they have made a complete switch.

Also note, we are not paid to say any dog food is better than the other! These ratings are based upon several factors. Ingredients, research, label reading, additives, vitamin content, cooking times, online articles, and most of all..... member testimonials.

Q: Where can I find these foods?
A: You can usually get it from your closest feed store. If they do not carry it, ask if it can be ordered for you. Most feed stores can get many different types of food that is not on their shelf. But we found the best place, and that is to order it online, delivered right to your door, at very competitive prices. I was actually paying about $8 more per bag at my feed store that was over 20 miles away!

Get FREE shipping on all orders over $49 for life! Set up a shipping schedule so you never run out of food. Schedule can be changed, food can be changed, easy to schedule and EXCELLENT customer service!

I have heard that Orijen is a good food but if it is true that it is high in protien then it may not be the best for bullies. Someone with way more food experience will certainly straighten us both out.. LOL Thanx for the question, that is how we learn.

@desertskybulldogs..do you have any info on natures domain? Sold at Costco. Just saw where it is basically totw..but mfg doesn't want their name sold at Costco. Saw it rated a 5 somewhere! $32.00 for large bag..saw a couple people are unemployed and cost is huge concern. Just a thought what you think..

I will have to look more into it. I just wonder the validity of the statement you read. What is the source? I will check into it and see what I find out.

It's me again@desertskybulldogs..the big pest! Well..I had read about this dog food on other forum I used to belong to..before I got smart!..lol..I saw it at my Costco awhile back and read about it. It is made by diamond..same as totw..I did compare labels..pretty close..tonight I went on that dogfoodadvisor site and did find it. Rated 4 out of 5 there. Read some of the comments..just thought it might be worth learning about for members who have economic reasons. Might be worth checking out. I don't know what I'm doing..so thought maybe in ALL your spare time...lol...you could see if it's worth rating here. At $32 for big bag..could be an option for few people. Hope I'm not out of line. I read on a post where someone had to go with cheap dog food until they got jobs or if their dog develops problems. Made me sad.

Looking at the ingredients I could say this in no way would compare to Taste of the Wild. I would probably add this to our list as a 4 star food. My main concern with this food is the amount of potatoes it has in it. For yeast growth-- this would be very bad. The first oil is canola oil, which is the 5th ingredient. This tells us this food is made up mostly of the first 5 ingredients. Then it is followed by another two potato ingredients. None of which are bad ingredients, but canola oil is not the best fat source.

Also you see the lack of the word 'supplement' in Fromm, more natural vitamins in Fromm plus the probiotics are in writing in the guaranteed analysis.

If you do develop yeast issues on a grain free food (this can happen with all the potatoes), try Nature's Variety Instinct has no potatoes or gluten, good for bullies with yeast issues, but a higher protein content. Make sure your bully gets plenty of exercise if you feed this food:

hey can someone do a rating on AvoDerm Natural Salmon & Potato Formula it says its grain free? i really need to find a cheaper alternative to The NVI Salmon which i am paying 90 dollars a bag for...

Wow..that sucks! A lot of people don't like the potato here cuz of yeast issues! Maybe you should check into the Costco one@desertskybulldogs is doing. It's not perfect..but Samson doesn't have a white face so tear stains wouldn't be a concern. It's made by the same people who do taste of the wild. $32 for big bag!! Maybe you can pm her about it.

Omg..I am a dweeb..just saw what thread this is on!! She likes it better than she thought she would. Worth a thought.

Avoderm is not grain free. It is good for the coat, but may not be as good as NVI for that. Do they have a Costco in your neck of the woods? The Costco food is not as good on the coat but if you give salmon oil it may be okay.

i know i always search google for online dog food in canada and hope something will pop up. but nothing reliable ever does. Samson is doing better today, thanks for asking . couldnt get him into the vet untill tuesday but they did say its black fly season!

Hey..I found an old thread about petflow in Canada. Lacey28 has petflow deliver to a store there and she gets her food that way. Takes 2 weeks. The stores are pet wise and for my fur kids...maybe you have those stores nearby? Or contact lacey28??

Hi!!! This food/allergies things for bullies is sooooo complicated!!!!! I switched my baby Kairos to blue wilderness salmon and it has done wonders for his allergies- no tears, much less scratching... but he hates it!!!! he doesnt like how it smells and he will look at it for hours before eating...
After reading so many post here I guess most people use fromm and love it.... we dont get that at any store in Puerto Rico , so I finally bought him, Wellness super5 mix chicken.. will start switching today to see how it goes ( I verified the list and the ones that are rated 6 stars the only one that I can get in Puerto Rico is wilderness (BLue) ...)
I will also start him on Probiotics... should I just give him the probiotics with his food? or should I give it to him before he eats??
